VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 11, 2017 /CNW/ -- Executive Hotels & Resorts announced today, due to popular demand, the re-opening this summer 2017 of a completely renovated Splashdown Waterpark in Tsawwassen, to be re-named The Big Splash Waterpark. In addition to re-opening the waterpark, Executive has announced the planned arrival of its newest boutique hotel concept, to be developed adjacent to the Big Splash Waterpark and across from the new 1.2 million square foot Tsawwassen Mills.

The combined hotel and renovated waterpark are expected to be welcome additions to the emergence of Tsawwassen as a shopping and entertainment destination, kicked off by last year's opening of Tsawwassen Mills and the recent opening of the Tsawwassen Springs Golf Resort Community and Tsawwassen Commons. The Big Splash Waterpark is planning new slide additions for the 2018 season, and is the closest waterpark for Metro Vancouver residents; perfect for short day trips, group gatherings and shopping/golf and slide day outings.

Joe Ennis, Director of Services at Executive said "We are pleased to have established a 99-year lease for the continued enjoyment and development of the 20-acre Splashdown development site in Tsawwassen. We have established an exciting mixed use commercial/residential development plan, which includes a complete re-furbishment of the waterpark, which is already underway, plus a new Executive Hotel. We will be open for business this summer and look forward to welcoming back all of the waterpark's loyal guests, as well as thousands of new guests to experience the rejuvenated Big Splash waterpark experience."
